Use non ammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or re.
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically.
However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid odor
buildup. Wipe up spills immediately.

■
formed in one compartment will transfer to the other. You
must thoroughly clean all compartments to eliminate odors.
To avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover
foods tightly.
Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window
■
sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes,
concentrated detergents, nail polish remover, bleaches or
cleansers containing petroleum products. Do not use paper
towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools that may
scratch or damage the materials.
